But the royal guard had no plan to let her go so easily. So, he asked again " I asked are you not scared of maddening poison from dark palace".
Su Chen wanted to glare so badly at the annoying guard but controlled himself and gave him a gritting smile " I dare not gossip about any of the prince palace and I must be lucky even if I get mad from it. After all if I got mad by being near a palace of the prince it will be my fortune".
Lee Jong Hyun grinned internally seeing her reaction, yes her. He already knew that the woman he met as new recruit would enter the palace today. First he stupidly waited for some martial artist to jump on his roof and take a peak from it but as she was a woman with no martial arts training that was impossible and second option was a route as a regular employee and here he found her loitering inside the stream and that too fully clothed.
Although others would need a while to see through her disguise but how could he as a man who has already met her not see her figure even though he realised now that her face was not at all ugly this made his intention to tease her increase with a notch and he couldn't help himself but ask.
" are you buttering me up for a position in prince palace as I am a royal guard and could ask chief butler to give you a position.Let me tell you, I am a loyal royal guard in king's palace let me tell you in advance that your words would be no good here. Better sell your sweetness somewhere else".
This time Su Chen couldn't control himself and glared directly as Jong Hyun's face. Her eyes were huge and anger was burning there brightly to ignite Jong Hyun directly to ashes.
" if my sweet talking is not good here, then I will go back now" shouted Su Chen as he planned to run to escape from this bullying rogue.
As Jong Hyun saw her leaving back, his feets moved faster like air and he draped his coat over her soldier and left her with a scream building up in her throat.
Su Chen stood there gripping the heavy black coat. It was quiet heavy when draped on his body but the warmth was enough to cause sweat drip from his forehead in few seconds.
Su Chen stood there glaring at the empty spot where Jong Hyun was there just a moment ago before disappearing. He planned to visit dark palace today to have a look around but that guard derailed her enough to make him return back
So, first day in the king's palace was a failure for Su Chen.
Returning to the men servant room his clothes were already changed and the jacket was still wrapped around his small body.
Seeing half naked men sleeping everywhere in the room made Su Chen held his nose because being tired from work only few took effort to take bath and then rest while some were still smelly and sweaty.
Shrinking in the corner, Su Chen spent his first night while cursing at strange royal guard whose face was hidden behind a haze in his mind
